Southern Asia 75 years ago today: Battle of Imphal-Kohima (15 Apr 1944) https://buff.ly/2IwaqFv By the close of 1943 the British were ready for a new offensive against the Japanese in Burma, mounting a second round of Arakan and Chindit offensives, this time in conjunction with the Americans and Chinese. The Japanese countered by invading India in an attempt to knock out the British communications base at Imphal, but were repelled after several months fighting. #southernasia #history #welovemaps #map #1940s #1944 #allies #britishempire #april #april15 #myanmar #burma #chindit #japaneseempire #axispowers #britishraj #britishindia #burmacampaign #worldwar2 #worldwarii #maps #welovehistory #ww2 #wwii #secondworldwar #pacificwar #todayinhistory #historytoday #historyteacher #historybuff (at Imphal) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwRN9-7gXaU/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=hi2u3zqnny0z
